Water: Daffodils 'Carlton' requires minimal watering, typically just once after planting unless conditions are dry. Potted daffodils 'Carlton' needs more frequent watering during growth. Avoid watering during dormancy in summer to prevent bulb rot, resuming in autumn and winter when the soil is dry.

Fertilize: Daffodils 'Carlton' requires minimal fertilization. Consider mixing bulb food or bone meal at planting in fall. Use water-soluble fertilizers (5-10-10 for foliage, 0-10-10 for flowering) in spring, and apply potassium fertilizer after flowering to support bulb rejuvenation.

Pruning: Daffodils 'Carlton' exhibit bright yellow flowers that bloom in early spring. Deadheading spent flowers redirects energy to the bulb, while cutting back yellowed foliage in late spring promotes healthy growth. Preserve green leaves for photosynthesis. Always use clean, sharp tools for pruning to prevent damage.

Propagation: Bulbs for daffodils 'Carlton' can be sourced from garden centers. This perennial bulb produces baby bulbs around established ones. In autumn, excavate and separate these small bulbs for propagation. Replant using the original method, and expect blooms after 2-3 years of growth.
